Value Favs is a daily email advisory service which concentrates on backing selected favourites across all codes of UK racing. Promoted by the reputable Tipster Street outlet, this service proposes to send out around 70 selections per month.

The selections are sent via email each morning between 9am and 11am and we are advised that a betting bank of 50pts is set aside to follow the service whose selections are all backed to a 2pt level stake.

In the near 7 months of testing since the 1st December launch to the end of now, I've been keeping an eye on Value Favs waiting for its launch and in that time they have advised 461 bets at total stakes of 922pts (ie 2pts per bet) and 219 of the 461 bets have won so far, producing profits of 171.92pts at an ROI of 18.64% from a strike rate of 47.5%.

A subscription to Value Favs is currently priced at £19.95 per month, but there are substantial discounts for those signing up for longer periods. A quarterly subscription is offered at £39.95 ie three months for the price of two.

Geegeez readers can take a month for just £4.99 via this link and it's worth noting that all payments are handled by Paypal, rather than paying any vendor directly, giving you some assurances should you need them.

Ray Pearce will now follow the fortunes of Value Favs for the next 60 betting days, using a £5.00 per point stake at advised odds (ie £10 per selection) and we'll report back on a daily basis for you.

For those of you who don't like a long read and/or my sense of humour, here are the facts about Value Favs in a nutshell; 60 days of a very reliable service has resulted in 74 winners from 143 bets; 51.75% S/R; £354.93 profit (70.99 pts); 24.82% ROI. So what's not to like about this system?How did it compare to the sales blurb?
Promoted by the reputable Tipster Street outlet, this service proposed to send out around 70 selections per month. During the Geegeez 60-day review period there have been 143 selections, spot on.

Delivery of the selections was to be via e-mail each morning, between 9am and 11am, they arrived exactly as advertised.

We were advised that a betting bank of 50pts should be set aside to follow the service whose selections were all backed to a 2pt, £10, level stake. The bank slumped to a review low of -£13.33 on day 1, going positive on day 2 and steadily increased to £354.93 during the review period.

As was to be expected with a strike rate above 50%, winning and losing runs were short. The longest winning run 8 (15-17 Aug); longest losing run 6, there were 5 no bet days.

Prior to the review starting on 26th June, in near 7 months of testing from the 1st December, Value Favs had advised 461 bets at total stakes of 922pts (ie 2pts per bet) and 219 of the 461 bets won, producing profits of 171.92pts at an ROI of 18.64% from a strike rate of 47.5%.

Add the Geegeez review results to that and from 1st Dec to date there have been 604 bets; 1208pts staked; 293 wins; £1212.55 - 242.51 pts profit; ROI 18.65%; S/R 48.51%, showing that the 60 days of the review have almost exactly replicated the results of the previous seven months.

As someone who has studiously avoided betting on Maiden, Novice, Nursery, Beginners, Claiming and Selling races, I was surprised by the results of a system practically all of bets were from those races. With the benefit of hindsight it can be seen that the one area where the system was weak was the Class 4 bets.

For the 60 review days only 15 winners from 44 bets, 34.08% S/R. Filtering out the Class 4 bets would have given 59 winners from 99 bets, 59.6% S/R, and increased the profit from £354.93 to £440.94, ROI 44.54%. Perhaps something to carry forward.

The conclusion must be that Value Favs, as is, is certainly worth the investment, well supported, profitable over an extended period and to be recommended.
